Panthers Boost Linebacker Group with Simmons, Lloyd
Carolina Panthers Strengthen Linebacker Corps: Isaiah Simmons Returns, Devin Lloyd Joins on $45M Deal
The Carolina Panthers have bolstered their linebacker group with the re-signing of Isaiah Simmons and the acquisition of Devin Lloyd on a three-year, $45 million deal, including $25 million guaranteed. Simmons, a former first-round pick, returns after playing just five games with the Panthers last season, while Lloyd joins from the Jacksonville Jaguars, bringing experience and production to the defense. These moves aim to improve a unit that needs more impact players and signal smarter spending in free agency as the Panthers build towards a tougher defense in the NFC South.
